We each have 3 minds & the practice of meditation allows us to not only experience all 3 minds, but to ascertain which is which. Mistaking one mind for another can lead to problems in life that can be avoided with more mindfulness. The conscious mind is the mind that we focus with. When we want to think about something in particular we think with our conscious mind. Put your consciousness in your big toe on your left foot right now. The power of the conscious mind allows us to place our consciousness anywhere we can imagine it to be. The conscious mind is the observer in meditation. The mind that we practice bringing ourselves back to during the meditation. The subconscious mind is the protective mind. It has a negative bias because it is there to keep us safe from harm. It has a narrative. It has us taking the perspective of others viewing ourselves, when we wonder how others think or feel about us, this is the subconscious mind. It is the mind that worries, that projects into the future what could go wrong. It is the mind that dwells on the past, of what happened that would have been better not to have happen. The subconscious mind is often the narrator of our lives. We are a communal species yet we are often living isolated from each other - the subconsious mind thinks this is dangerous for our wellbeing, it literally thinks we won't have food or shelter and we will die. This mind wanders off into the negative all day long if we let it. The conscious mind often goes along with it, until we wake up from that state & bring ourselves back to the present moment. The superconscious mind is intuitive. It is where our inspiration comes from. Some people never reach this state of mind & only function from their conscious & subconscious minds. The superconscious mind receives thoughts, inspired thoughts, that move us forward along our life path. When we have a conscious wish, a conscious mind intention, our higher self takes that intention & knows our path to manifesting that intention. When we sit in meditation or similar spiritual practice for long enough, bringing ourselves back into the present from the subconscious mind & also from external distractions. in time we can experience this higher mind. We can also experience the superconscious mind when we partake in activities that quiet our mind enough, this could be while showering, while gardening, whilst waling in nature, whilst swimming, or a creative activity that has us in the present moment & not succumbing to the subconscious mind. The higher mind thoughts come TO us, we receive the thoughts. They are not something we would make up, although you might wonder whether you have made them up with either the subconscious or the conscious mind. The thoughts can be of a person, a place or even something that you should say to somebody, they can be a new idea, or creative inspiration. Sometimes a whole book can be created by the higher mind, the thoughts repeating over & over until the book is written. 8 of my 9 published books were written starting at 3am and ending whenever the book was complete that same day. Higher mind thoughts can be short snippets, you think of somebody then you bump into them. Take note of all superconscious mind thoughts & take action on them! They are the secret to a magical life of purpose.
